Frequently asked questions.
What can I build with Checkout?
Checkout enables you to create a digital store of any kind! You can create a stock photography website, you can sell your audio files, full albums, ebooks, videos, design resources and more!
Using the Marketplace bundle for Easy Digital Downloads (see below), you can turn your site into a full-blown marketplace that enables users to submit files for sale on your website. Enable the Commissions extension to make a cut of every sale made on your website!
What is Easy Digital Downloads?
Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) is a free WordPress plugin that enables you to sell digital goods on your website. EDD is entirely optional and is only required if you would like to sell digital products on your website. Although EDD is 100% free, you can also purchase extensions to add more features to your site, making it as minimal or powerful as you’d like.
What is the Marketplace bundle?
The Marketplace bundle is a collection of extensions that have been specifically chosen for users that wish to setup a marketplace with Easy Digital Downloads. These extensions add features like Frontend User Submissions, Reviews, Recommended Products and Wish Lists, allowing you to create a single or multi-user marketplace. Checkout was designed to integrate seamlessly with all of the extensions in the Marketplace bundle.
The Marketplace bundle is not required to sell your products with Easy Digital Downloads, only if you want to create a marketplace. Checkout and Easy Digital Downloads function as a standalone digital store out of the box.
What is a Typekit font?
Typekit is a font subscription service that offers top-quality fonts from the world’s best foundries, for use on the web. We’ve partnered with Typekit to bring these professionally-designed fonts to your website!
Why is it important to have finely-crafted typography? Typography can be very influential on visitors to your site, and can have a stunning effect when done properly. Typography draws in your visitor and sets the tone for your content. For this reason, we’ve chosen to feature Proxima Nova in Checkout, a super clean, modern sans-serif font with a bold, professional appearance.
